In this week’s Two Grumpy Vets, the three of us catch up on real life: gaming detours (Fortnite, Helldivers, Mortal Kombat), home projects gone sideways (garage chaos and armored soffit vents vs. ninja squirrels), and shop talk from roofing to ham radio antennas. We wander through cooking adventures (DIY mixers, homemade rolls, bacon pancake bakes, Amish onion fritters), dog shenanigans (Bella’s water-bowl rebellion and Jeep-key sprints), and the never‑ending battle of fast‑food prices. We also get candid about heavy family matters—trauma bonds, safety plans, and choosing patience over vengeance—while reminding each other why conversations, humor, and friendship matter.
We wrap with a quick explainer on our value‑for‑value model, how to send in feedback, and an open invite to share topics you want us to tackle next—whether it’s outdoor stories, gear talk, life stuff, or why stroking corn really is just buttering cobs.

Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, this is a show that each week allows for three friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living, having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude,

[00:04:53] Duuude-Ron :
productivity for for yeah. You know,
[00:04:59] Unknown:
my my route going to Abilene, when I get on the 360 Loop, I drive less than a ball block past my house. I saw and keep in mind, I'm leaving out between six and 06:30 to get up to Abilene.
[00:05:19] Duuude-Ron :
Right.
[00:05:21] Unknown:
The truck that went past my house because I was out taking a walk, taking a break. And at 10:30, the truck going to Abilene passes by my house or my neighborhood. I'm like
[00:05:37] Duuude-Ron :
Going the right direction or the wrong direction?
[00:05:40] Unknown:
Going to leaving to go to Abilene
[00:05:43] Duuude-Ron :
at 10:00. So going the right direction. Alright. So he's at the right direction.
[00:05:49] Unknown:
Just a wee bit late. So but, you know you know what? I saw the truck go by, and I just kinda see you later. I'll just
[00:05:59] Duuude-Ron :
continue
[00:06:00] Unknown:
to continue with my staycation. But, of course, my staycation, I've been working the whole damn time, so that's alright too. Okay. Trying to get shit, like, the garage, you know, a little bit of organization. How's that working out? Not very much success. Oh.
[00:06:22] Duuude-Ron :
Not working out very well at all. Managed to move one disorganization to the opposite side of his garage?
[00:06:29] Unknown:
It's still a work in progress. I'll put it. You like that. Still trying to pack up boxes and you know? But Monday was my getting the and I and I sent a picture last night, and I can send you that same picture tonight, Brian, where trying to get the fucking squirrels out of my attic because I had a tree that they could jump onto, get on the roof, and then the soffit vents Mhmm. You know, I had one of those that was chewed up. So and, of course, that was thin aluminum. Yeah. So now they are inside metal floor vents that you use in the house that you would use on the floor, not the ones on the ceiling Mhmm. Like I have, but the ones on the floor. And then I put chicken wire on the outside of that.
If they get through the metal vent and I mean, this is, like, number nine steel wire. If they get through that, I'm gonna go Right. Acquire me a 50 cal sniper rifle, and I'm gonna blow that motherfucker, that squirrel into squirrel sauce.
[00:07:45] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I'm gonna say, I mean, all you have to do is just line up a little bit a a little squirrel size claymore just on the other side of it. So once he gets sticks his air through, kabow. Yeah. But you'll wind up instead of instead of having a bunch of bald, you got some bunch of BBs packed in there. Well, you know, you did a little less damage. That it'll it'll it'll work. It'll work. Just it'll just,
[00:08:10] Unknown:
just a little bit. War warn all of his friends?
[00:08:15] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Exactly. Like, shit. You see Kevin? He just kinda went, oh, this is minimal. Don't go there.
[00:08:22] Unknown:
Exactly. He just went poof. No. I, like, trimmed the limbs from the tree. Well, basically, I didn't trim them. I fucking cut all the limbs off. So Mhmm. Those little bastards are not gonna get up onto my roof and get into the attic anymore. As easily. Yeah. If I hope not. If they get through that that pretty good steel vent and that wire Uh-huh. You know? Yeah. Maybe I should just put up, oh, like, jail bars next. Yeah. Yeah. I might Make my own steel bars to keep them off.
[00:09:12] Duuude-Ron :
So that's why put a bar inside of the bar. So if they try to try to they try to cut through the bars, you know, they hit the, they hit that inner bar and it just rolls so they can't cut it.
[00:09:23] Unknown:
Yeah. So that will be the next project. These little bastards get into those these vents now. So but Yay. I got half the house, so I'm gonna have to buy another 10 vents to finish off that goes all the way around the house for my Hi. To my soffits. So, you know, as long as it keeps the, riffraff out of the house, I guess I'm good.
[00:09:54] Rich Chelson:
Yep. That's the main thing.
[00:09:56] Unknown:
So that that was Monday's task.
[00:10:00] Duuude-Ron :
I wonder if, like like, for mice, if they, if if squirrels don't like, what's it called? Double aught, steel wool.
[00:10:10] Unknown:
You know, I don't know.
[00:10:11] Duuude-Ron :
Or if, you know, if that impedes the, air too much for for soffits to work properly.
[00:10:18] Unknown:
Yeah. It would impede. Yeah. And that's why I got these vents Right. With the chicken wire. Yeah.
[00:10:27] Rich Chelson:
Single lot might be okay, but double up to four, I think, would would impede the airflow too much. I could be wrong.
[00:10:37] Unknown:
Yes. That's why I went this route. So I'll check it every week and see how those little bastards are trying to get in or if they just, I'll just go and bother somebody else's house. Got a lot of houses in the neighborhood, so you don't that or yeah.
[00:10:54] Duuude-Ron :
Well, go and run down to run down to Atwoods or Tractor Supply. They've got they've got pellet guns for sale there. So you go grab yourself a pellet gun and a whole bunch of of pellets and well, hell, you can also go to Walmart. They got my at Walmart too. And there you go. While you're sitting down on the backyard, you know, having a cigarette, you got your little you know, your pellet gun and you see one investigating the the the rafters, you just peek.
[00:11:20] Unknown:
Yeah. You know, I got two pellet guns sitting in the garage
[00:11:25] Duuude-Ron :
someplace. There you go. Haven't quite gotten to them yet. The end of the day, you walk up. You walk into the end of the house with with about six squirrels. You go, hey. We're having squirrel stew tonight.
[00:11:36] Unknown:
Yeah. Really.
[00:11:37] Duuude-Ron :
Have have a feeling Holly would probably not talk to you after that, but still, you know?
[00:11:42] Unknown:
Yeah. No. No. Just don't tell her. I know. Good. Yeah. Now I have had a couple of wild game dinners in my time, but I don't remember if any of them had squirrel. They might have. Well, squirrel is excellent. Oh, man. I know I had a lot of people talk about it. I know I had,
[00:12:03] Rich Chelson:
squirrel is good. Oh my god. Really? Oh, shit. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Cried squirrel. Mhmm.
[00:12:11] Unknown:
Well, you know what? Here you know what? Since it'll be shortly before What? I get to see your ugly mug again, Rich Mhmm. Maybe I should, you know, cap a couple of them. Bring them down. You can filet them, fry them up, and there's dinner for one night.
[00:12:31] Rich Chelson:
Bring them. I cook them. I ain't scared. Come on now. My god, we'll be eating hound hound right here.
[00:12:40] Duuude-Ron :
It's some Yeah. Just growing some You ever heard of the old, the old book? Oh, heck yeah. That sounds sounds quite tasty. I've never had squirrel, but I've always wanted to try. But if you ever heard of the the the book by called old man of this and the boy? Nope. No. By I can't think of the guy's first name, Rourke. And, basically, he talks about his life living in The Carolinas back around 1920. And k. The old man is his grandpa, and it's just a it's a in all reality, the book itself is just a a a wonderful love story about, the outdoorsmanship.
And one because he talks about going through and talking to, you know, him and his grandpa. Starts out his granddad show gives him his first shotgun and, and talks about how you're supposed to be how you're supposed to use it and all this and and, how to take care of it and and why you wanna take care of it and his whole philosophy behind the guns. And from there, it takes him out on his first quail hunt and talks to him about the different rules that he has implemented in his own life about hunting squirrel or hunting quail. Like, you never shoot out a whole cubby.
Take no more than than than half the cubby or 10 at most. Right. And make sure you give them plenty of black eyed pea you plant some black eyed peas and some other items, up now in the back part of the, of the property so that it lets them know that they're welcome here and and plenty of places to take cover and and stuff like that. And it's just and he goes through the whole thing. And one of the portions that he gets to is when he take he, gives his, the old man gives the boy a his first 22, and they go out on their first squirrel hunt. And how you actually want to squirrels are are believe themselves to be rather noble creatures, but find themselves to be on the opposite end of the spectrum. It's essentially the like, whether just they're the idiot.
Because all you have to do is you have to distract them with one. So you get the you get the dog to to to to treat them, and then all you have to do is walk around the backside because they're not paying attention to you and you just had to shoot them. And it's it's you know, you get you get done hunting them, and you're you've got a a bag full of squirrels in no time flat. Right. And it it's just but it goes through and talks about how duck hunting and how ducks will dive and how you swear they've got armor armor protecting their their backs because you see feathers fly, but they're still flying away and everything you know, all the different main games that you they he comes across and and and the challenges and just how he views how this old man views life in general and how he applies those those views and that philosophy to life. And like I said, it's just it's you get finished reading and you're going, damn. I need to go hunting again.
Just you even if you've never been hunting, you're like, damn. I wanna go hunting again. You know? It's just one of those just, what's your your appetite for that whole whole interaction and and the the nobility of actually going out hunting, bringing home bringing home what you caught. And he goes out and talks about how in the summertime, it's that's the fishing time. And so he goes out and he goes off the shore offshore, goes fishing, and and also goes into the inlets and and fishes fresh in the, freshwater in there and just back and forth, back and forth, going in and out and all that. And it's just a like I said, it's a beautiful story. Just a wonderful story. I think and so, yeah, it's just, it's, the talk about hunting squirrels, so that just reminds me because that was one of the big one of the big things that he was talking about was how squirrels view themselves as these noble creatures, and while in all reality, they're just morons. So Okay.
And, I did not have that. They yeah, they they it's pure like I said, you you could find it. It's it's on it's on Audible. Actually, you can also listen to it on on Spotify. So Yep. And, it it's, like I said, a great book a great book about about the outdoorsmanship and and why boys need to be outdoors out in nature.
[00:17:24] Rich Chelson:
Right. And, yeah, I agree. Boys do.
[00:17:28] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Absolutely. They they did.
[00:17:31] Rich Chelson:
Because you can learn a lot out in nature.
[00:17:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah? Yep. Nature will tell teach you everything you need to know about life. Yep. And it's all the important stuff about life, not the unimportant stuff. Right.
[00:17:48] Unknown:
Oh. But Oh, no. Just to point out on the opposite and on the opposite side, it'll nature will teach you or can how fast it can kick you in the ass.
[00:18:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. No. If you don't pay attention to what nature's teaching you, she will she will ensure that you learn.
[00:18:09] Unknown:
Yes. One way or another.
[00:18:13] Rich Chelson:
That is true. Yep. That is true.
[00:18:16] Unknown:
Sounds like a movie title. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
[00:18:25] Rich Chelson:
Oh, that's true.
[00:18:27] Unknown:
So next week not next week, but the week after, I let the insurance spend $16,000 on my house, finally getting my roof done.
[00:18:38] Duuude-Ron :
Hey.
[00:18:39] Rich Chelson:
That's good. And we both
[00:18:43] Unknown:
that. Yeah. That's right. Unless I have some decking that needs to be replaced, and I will take this Jeep and a few tie down straps, and I will go by myself, go buy some four by eight sheets of plywood and strap them down to the top of the sheet instead of letting them go and buying it because it'll go from, what, maybe $30 per sheet to a $120 a sheet.
[00:19:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Dep Pretty close?
[00:19:14] Rich Chelson:
You need to read the fine print, but yeah.
[00:19:17] Unknown:
Well, I did get a pretty a pretty good roofing company, I believe, because the same people that are doing my roof are the ones that did my neighbors right across the street from me, and they did a very good job. And, you know, she was referred. She's, what, 91 now, I think. And she was referred by a few other people, and the guy that came over to do the estimate is one of the owners of the company and remembers when, you know, he did her estimate a couple years ago to do her roof. So Okay. Seems like a, pretty pretty good guy. However, the guys that are actually going to be doing the roofing will probably be all Hispanics, which is fine.
You know? As long as they do get the rough done right, I don't give a shit who puts it on.
[00:20:19] Rich Chelson:
They will. You see you see, that's the thing. You know? I it's I've noticed I'm I'm not saying you have noticed some people, you know, you know, have a bad view of Mexicans and and their work. But, you know, I've I've I've seen a lot of work done by Mexicans, and they take pride in the shit they do.
[00:20:38] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. And and I got no problems with, you know, whoever does the roof, the actual roofing. And, yeah, it whatever job you do, you should take pride in it. Right. But, you know, how many people actually do take pride in their work these days?
[00:21:00] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see, that's the thing, though. That's that's a hard question to kinda answer because it depends on what industry are are you talking about because Oh, yeah. That's oh, yeah. You can't lump everyone in in one group
[00:21:18] Unknown:
because you Oh, no. No. Uh-uh. You know?
[00:21:20] Duuude-Ron :
I mean No. No. You can. Who's telling you you can't?
[00:21:26] Rich Chelson:
No. You can't really, dude. That's just it's just not
[00:21:30] Duuude-Ron :
Well, some people may not like being lumped in the same as as others, but you know?
[00:21:35] Rich Chelson:
I mean, if you do bad work, you do bad work. But, you know, if you do good work, you might. But Yep. That You know, if I build houses for a living, I don't wanna be lumped in the same group as someone who's working at McDonald's just sitting there on their butt looking at their phone for $15 an hour.
[00:21:56] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, the price of a Big Mac and the price of a Big Mac meal goes to $18.50.
[00:22:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, actually, I saw I saw something so was it last night I was looking? They're saying saying McDonald's dropped its prices or is dropping its prices on on some of its items. Like, a Big Mac meal is is, like, now down to, like, $8.
[00:22:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They, like, cut it in half or something.
[00:22:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Because, apparently, they were no one was buying their food, which, I mean, that's great because they've got shit food as it is. But Absolutely. Prices just got out freaking outrageous.
[00:22:43] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. And, you know, I rarely eat at McDonald's now because their hamburger meat is so freaking salty, at least in this area. I don't know about you guys'.
[00:22:55] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Oh, no. I I don't eat I don't eat McDonald's every once in a great while. I I don't I don't eat McDonald's.
[00:23:05] Duuude-Ron :
I don't eat McDonald's unless I'm just getting French fries.
[00:23:12] Unknown:
Or a filet of pollock, or I should say a a filet of minced pollock.
[00:23:20] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. I I won't I've never seen a cubed fish before.
[00:23:28] Unknown:
I think Spongebob may have had one, but I don't remember.
[00:23:35] Duuude-Ron :
So I don't remember either. I know he was he was square, but he was a sponge.
[00:23:40] Unknown:
Well yeah.
[00:23:41] Rich Chelson:
And his name was Bob. I don't eat I don't eat
[00:23:46] Duuude-Ron :
Gary.
[00:23:47] Rich Chelson:
Processed fish of from fast food joints.
[00:23:51] Unknown:
Oh, I'll eat a mixed dish in a heartbeat.
[00:23:54] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I I won't.
[00:23:57] Unknown:
But that's just me. But, actually, you know, these days and I did what was it? Chinese last weekend, and that bill came up to it was almost $60. But, hell, that was fucking three meals.
[00:24:17] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah.
[00:24:19] Unknown:
So, yeah, it Yep. All that food for $60 came down to the price of, you know, less than, you know, two meals at McDonald's. So I went to Burger King oh, this was a couple weeks ago. Two, I got Heidi a just she gets a a junior meal, and I get the bacon cheeseburger. That was $23.
[00:24:53] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god.
[00:24:55] Unknown:
Yeah. Damn near had a fucking heart attack. I'm like, goddamn. Oh, yeah. Guess I won't guess I won't be eating Burger King anytime soon.
[00:25:05] Duuude-Ron :
Nah. Burger King's pretty like that. Wendy's is damn near as bad. Hell, we get two drink or one drink and two, two large fries for me and Jana and walk out of there spending $15 on you. It's like, son of a gun, man. We're not even getting the good stuff. None of the bacon in it.
[00:25:23] Rich Chelson:
That's just rude.
[00:25:25] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Really? Damn straight.
[00:25:28] Unknown:
Dang. That's rude, but it's rude. So yeah. And then it's it'll be time to save up money and maybe one day get the siding done on the house. Of course, my siding when they built this house is freaking pressed paper. Mhmm. How the hell they ever approve that shit is beyond me, but, you know Hey. Hey, dude.
[00:25:59] Rich Chelson:
Now let me ask you a question. I don't know if you know the answer to this question or not. And After I say it, you're probably not gonna believe me, but you can go ahead and look it up and, find out that, yeah, it's it's it's pretty well true. Do you know companies can pay the FDA for the approval? I've seen different articles on that.
[00:26:24] Unknown:
That's nice to hear. Maybe not everything,
[00:26:27] Rich Chelson:
but on you know? And and so, yeah, it's it's in I mean, honestly, the freaking FDA is a joke, if you ask me, on on a lot of stuff. They allow a lot of these drugs that are known to cause, you know, very serious side effects, major side effects, up to and including death, and they still approve them. But yet, they won't approve something that's totally fucking healthy. So Yep. What's happening?
[00:27:00] Unknown:
Because it's another paid. Exactly. It's another government entity that is so corrupt that it it'll probably never get turned around. No. I don't care what pres I don't care what president is. If if JFK came back from the dead and was in the presidency for sixteen years, it wouldn't fucking change.
[00:27:28] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:27:29] Unknown:
You know, they and I saw one thing here recently that they're trying there are several states. I think it's 13. Texas was not one of them, but I'm sure we'll follow suit to put in legislation to for politicians, for the senate, congress, and the house of representatives to be term limits.
[00:27:56] Rich Chelson:
It'd be nice, but it's not gonna pass.
[00:27:59] Unknown:
Probably not.
[00:28:00] Rich Chelson:
I mean yeah. No. We need that. I you know, I I'm not knocking it by no fucking means. But do you think Congress is gonna vote themselves to have term limits? No.
[00:28:15] Unknown:
I would love to see it. I would love to fucking see it. Right. But, yeah, I don't I don't I don't see that as happening.
[00:28:23] Rich Chelson:
Unfortunately. Be wrong. I could be totally wrong on that one, and I hope I am.
[00:28:30] Unknown:
Well, hopefully, I hope hopefully, I see it in my lifetime. Oh, man. I was watching another Sure. I was watching another commercial for a guy that's running for congress someplace in the state of Texas. I don't know if he's within my district. He was a West Point officer, aviation career as a army officer, but his the start of his commercial or whatever the hell you wanna call it. And he approves this message, but, of course, he's the one because he's the one that's fucking talking. You know, it's amazing that he approves that message. I'm not gonna approve this message, but I just gave the spiel.
It's like, oh, yeah. Okay. You're a fucking idiot, you know, if you don't prove your own damn message. But it starts out as I endorsed president Trump the day that he, you know, he announced his bid for the presidency where all these other people, Republicans or whoever, waited until after Trump's assassination attempt happened. And I'm thinking to myself, okay. President Trump, you know, endorsed him. I don't give a shit. Who fucking endorses you? Why don't you fucking say, I don't care who endorses me. I'm gonna do their I'm gonna if I'm elected, I will go in and do the job that my con that the people voted me in office to do. I don't give a fuck who you sponsor.
Who sponsored you? Who gives a shit? I don't care if president Trump sponsored you a 100 times. Who fucking cares? If you get elected, go do your fucking job and don't become corrupt. That, you know, if I if I saw him at a rally or something and, you know, I'd say, okay. I saw your you run for congress or so. Well, I can't even remember what the house he's running for. It's like, you said that you Trump endorsed you and you endorsed Trump. It's like, who gives a shit who endorsed who? Are you gonna do your fucking job that you get voted in for, or are you gonna follow the fucking your constituents and become fucking corrupt?
See what he says then.
[00:31:11] Rich Chelson:
Well, well, see, dude, a lot of the reasons why they say that is because a lot of people will care, and and a lot of people will not vote for you or vote for you because of either statement. You know, if if you endorsed or didn't endorse or they endorsed you or didn't endorse you. You see, that's the thing. People and and, like, on these commercials where they say, I approve this message, that's actually a rule because I I forget when it was. This was, late nineties, early two thousands. I think I might be wrong on a date. But, there was there was other other people or whatnot putting out ads, campaign ads, and stuff like that, making it sound like the other person said it when they didn't.
So it was a rule passed down saying that, you know, if it it has to say you know, if if if it was made by the candidate, they have to say that. So Right. But, yeah, it's sad that I I mean, I agree with you. You know? Do your job. But there again, though, you know, saying that that I support Trump and Trump supported me, a lot of people might not vote for him, might or might not. Don't know. Yeah. You know?
[00:32:41] Unknown:
And, you know, I don't know either because, you know, when it comes to what is it? When is when the fuck is midterms? Midterms ain't even till fucking this time, you know. Yeah. Next year. I don't even know who the fuck is on the ballot for my area for up in DC. I don't think he's in my area. I think he's up in the Dallas area. It's I don't know. So Right. My vote for him won't even fucking count.
[00:33:15] Rich Chelson:
You shouldn't even see that unless he's running for a national seat.
[00:33:20] Unknown:
Well, he's he's running for a national I've congressional seat, I believe.
[00:33:24] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:33:25] Unknown:
But still, if he's not in my my district, he's not gonna be on my ballot
[00:33:32] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:33:33] Unknown:
For whatever district I'm in. I have no freaking clue. Right. But, yeah, I think these days is vote for the lesser of the two evils.
[00:33:44] Rich Chelson:
Pretty much. Pretty much. Or or just close your eyes and just start start coloring circles then.
[00:33:53] Unknown:
Yeah. Yes. Just start pushing buttons. That's probably how you do it, Rich. Close my eyes. Oh, there's some buttons to push. Let me see which one let me see which one feels the best. Oh, that button right here. You know you know, actually,

[00:34:11] Unknown:
No shit. Ours is all electronic.
[00:34:14] Rich Chelson:
Not ours. We yeah. No. We still have to color in the circles, and then now now the ballot machine, we slide the ballot into the machine, and it reads it right there and records it. And then I think it'll spit out a little receipt or something. I don't know. I don't pay attention.
[00:34:36] Unknown:
That's what ours does. It but it's all done electronically, and then it spits out your results. You review your results of who you voted for to make sure that the ticket actually has all the people that you actually voted for, and then you take it to the other machine that records your vote.
[00:35:01] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. Now we we just color in the circles, whichever ones we want, and then run it through the machine, and it keeps the ballot. Wrench out. Yeah. Little receipt like I said, and then that's it. See you later. Bye.
[00:35:17] Unknown:

Just like my just like my golden retriever did one time, literally ate a box of 64 crayons. That was a definite colorful outcome, paper and all. You didn't you didn't peel the paper off the damn crayons. He just ate everything. It's like, dude, did you enjoy that? Yeah. It was a it was a couple of full mounts.

Yep. Another one. I have to take my other two down, so this will be my main one.
[00:40:55] Unknown:
Why do you have to take the other two down?

I just I just never built one, and so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. And so I've been doing some research on it, and and I got, I'd say, half of it built. I'm just I'm just working on the ladder line part because I Yeah. I was being cheap. I could've bought the ladder line, but I didn't wanna spend the money because I already had the wire.
[00:42:43] Unknown:
You know? Right. Because we all know you're cheap bastard. Okay.
[00:42:47] Rich Chelson:
I am. Yeah. I admit. Yep. Yep. And so so I'm making that, and then, I gotta rig it up to, get it hung. And then and then once I get it hung, then that should work. I'm gonna I've got a meter I'm gonna test it with after I get it up so I'll know how close or far I am. Okay.
[00:43:14] Unknown:
Now since this is TV style antenna, are you gonna have to have some tinfoil No. Wrapped around it at any place No. In point in time? Okay. No. No. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. This is not a TV style antenna.
[00:43:28] Rich Chelson:
I'm just using well, I'm I'm just making the feed line that that I that I used to feed the TV antennas.

They also did all the Rudolph comes down, Rudolph and the shiny new year, and all the stop stop motion animation from for the holidays, Like, Nestor, the long eared donkey, and the drummer boy, and and all those. They Rankin Bass did those too, but they also did actual animation, like like I said. The turn Tolkien's, Return of the King is one that a lot of people know.
The Hobbit is another one they did that would, that was real good. And a lot of people are aware of it and and and love it tremendously. So You know, I've seen Who did, I can't remember who did, The Last Unicorn.
[00:47:45] Rich Chelson:
You see, movies like that, I mean, I watch them. I like them, but I don't care who made them. That's just that was just something that's not in my wheelhouse.
[00:47:57] Unknown:
Yeah. And I'm not really
[00:47:58] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, it it gives me an idea of what to what I'm to expect.

You know?
[00:48:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I don't know why she jumped over to HughesNet instead of sticking with with with CenturyLink, but she did. So it's not Well not not my choice. So No. No. No. You're you're in pot
[00:49:00] Unknown:

[00:50:08] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[00:50:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, we'll see. But, anyhow, what I was saying was right. Hopefully, they got it right. So but what I was gonna say was one of the things about about knowing who the animator is is it gives you an idea of what it's what it's gonna be like because you have Ralph Bakshi who did Fritz the Cat, which was the first x rated animated movie out. But he also did wizards, which is a grew up watching that when I had to watch it anytime, you know, my stepmom went in the house, but still grew up watching that. Great movie. Let's see. American which was a interesting angle.
See, Coonskin, which is a really interesting movie about racism. And, I mean, they did a lot of movies that were commentaries on on US culture and, and stuff. And, you know, obviously, they Ralph Bakshi being Ralph Bakshi at at angle towards the towards the, the the liberal side, but at the same time, it was an interesting and entertaining means of doing a commentary. And, I've written and looked it up, and, yeah, the last unicorn, which is one of my favorite animated shows I watched growing up, is is done by Rankin Bass. So Oh, okay. So that's why high button. Must
[00:51:39] Unknown:

[00:52:33] Unknown:
Yeah. I know. And I know I've told you guys a story that in my youth, I spent more time on roller skates than I did in school on a weekly basis. Right. Man, I'd be on skates from 09:00 in the morning on Saturday until a little bit after midnight.
[00:52:52] Duuude-Ron :

[00:54:28] Unknown:
Okay.

So I followed the recipe. And then I was using my mixer, and I put the dough hooks in, the ones that I bought off eBay for, like, 15 or $20. Right. And then and all like that. And I had checked them, and it looked like they fit. Well, my mixer really didn't wanna
[00:54:51] Duuude-Ron :
work with them right. Didn't wanna use them.
[00:54:54] Unknown:
Didn't wanna play well with others.
[00:54:57] Rich Chelson:

[00:55:14] Unknown:
So Well no.
[00:55:16] Rich Chelson:

[00:56:31] Duuude-Ron :
And, you know This is the only way to be.
[00:56:34] Unknown:
Well yeah. Especially when you own the Jeep. You know? As long as you don't have fucking you know, as long as the whole dash isn't covered with ducts, I guess you're good. And if you take it out wheeling in every once in a while and don't make it a payment print, insist that you have to put do what they want to do. But, you know, even though you made rolls and they would start out to be or should have been hamburger buns, you make rolls and then you make silver dollar hamburgers.
[00:57:07] Rich Chelson:
Right. Well, you see you see, here's the thing, and and I've got it thawing now. I'm gonna do this probably sometime tomorrow afternoon is I'm gonna I've got I've got, like, two and a quarter pounds or two and a half pounds of stew meat. Right?
[00:57:23] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:57:24] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's gonna become hamburger. Well, there you go. Because I'm gonna put that grinder on the front of that mixer.
[00:57:31] Unknown:
And see how well it grinds.
[00:57:34] Rich Chelson:
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And and, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna make this hamburger flavored when I get it all done. And then but, yeah, this this mixer came with fucking every and and the thing is on this mixer, and I'm not sure if KitchenAid does this, probably does, but you know how the old the old mixers and even the hand mixers, you would have to push the, like, let's say, the beaters up into the head Mhmm. To lock them in.
[00:58:07] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:58:08] Rich Chelson:
Not this. This, you push up, twist a quarter turn, and it locks. Oh, okay. You don't have to push nothing up inside anything. It it it has a little stem push up, twist, and it locks.
[00:58:25] Unknown:
Well, there you go.
[00:58:27] Rich Chelson:
I'm like, so by god.

[00:58:33] Rich Chelson:
Right? Oh, yeah. Makes it makes it a whole lot nicer. And and I'm I'm gonna see I'm a I'm a see how the prices are on fruit, but, I might I might try and make make a strawberry milkshake or maybe a chocolate milkshake.
[00:58:51] Unknown:
Oh, there you go. There you go. Or or a smoothie at minimum.
[00:58:56] Rich Chelson:
Right. I mean, whichever way. I mean, because, I mean, it's I mean, it's been freaking umpteen years since I've done stuff, anything like this. You know? But
[00:59:08] Unknown:
Well, that's why I stick to hot dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches. And
[00:59:14] Rich Chelson:
I like those too, but but I also like a little variety as well. You know?
[00:59:20] Unknown:
Tuna fish sandwiches. See, I'm I'm a simple cook when I have to cook. Do you yeah. You are exactly right. I am so simple. I don't even cook. Dude, that's good. Hot dogs, corn dogs, tuna fish sandwich, fried meat sandwich. That's damn good. That that's damn good fiction. The only thing I will cook when it's seasonal is fried green tomatoes. Man, I love me some love me some fried green tomatoes.
[00:59:55] Rich Chelson:
Why do you gotta wait for seasonals?
[00:59:57] Unknown:
You it's hard to find green tomatoes in the wintertime. Any place.
[01:00:03] Rich Chelson:
Find someone who has a greenhouse.
[01:00:06] Unknown:
Well, you know, I got a friend of mine, Dave, and I know you haven't met him, but he's one of my Wheeling buddies. This year, his tomato plants did not do very well, and I got one the size of little bit smaller than a lemon from him the other day, and that's the only one he had. Last year, he I got, oh, you know, half a, you know, Walmart bag of tomatoes this year, they didn't do so well. Yeah. Last year when he had his tomatoes up, oh, yeah. I was eating pretty good on fried green tomatoes.
[01:00:39] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But yeah. No. I I just you know, it's like it's like, I don't know, man. I mean, I was raised up on on scratch cooking, and that's how I learned how to start cooking. Mhmm. Yeah. Because, I mean, I was I I was actively taught. All of us kids were actively taught how to cook. Yeah. So and, honestly, it's healthier, I think.
[01:01:07] Unknown:
So Well, for the most part, yes. I will totally agree with that.
[01:01:13] Rich Chelson:
So, yeah, that's why that's why I got this mixer. And plus plus, I can make my pudding anytime I want without making a mess. That's always been my problem.
[01:01:25] Unknown:
Well, yeah, cooking always makes usually, in my opinion, usually makes a mess.
[01:01:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, maybe for you, but I can cook and have a pretty clean kitchen. I mean, yeah, I do have to do a little bit of cleanup, but not much because I don't I don't get crazy.
[01:01:45] Unknown:
Well, again, that's why I don't cook. But, of course
[01:01:50] Rich Chelson:
I've had practice.
[01:01:52] Unknown:
Well yeah. And if and if you don't cook, guess what? You ain't eating. And, again, y'all get expensive going out to dinner three times a day.
[01:02:04] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I know. It is. It is. It can for sure.
[01:02:08] Rich Chelson:
That or DoorDash or you know?
[01:02:12] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. I'll never do DoorDash. No. Thank you. I'll just go and pick it up my damn self.
[01:02:19] Rich Chelson:
You know, I couldn't, you know, save myself quite a bit of money, but I get to thinking about it. Fuck. I'd have to load the dog up because, oh my god. If the dog's not around, it slips out. You know? She's like, oh my god. Dad. Dad's out of the room for five minutes. I I have to touch him for thirty just to make sure.
[01:02:43] Unknown:
Okay. Just to make sure he's there. Right. Just make sure you're still alive and breathing.
[01:02:49] Rich Chelson:
Nice to hear. You know? Yeah. She's usually taller too.
[01:02:54] Unknown:
Oh, yeah? Mhmm.
[01:02:57] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. She yeah. She's been sleeping a lot, and next thing I know, sitting down, she's about the height of my knees.
[01:03:07] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[01:03:09] Rich Chelson:
Whereas whereas when I first got her, she was probably about half the height from the floor up.
[01:03:18] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:03:18] Rich Chelson:
So about midway point on my calf when I first got her, and now she's the height of my knees when I'm sitting down. Makes it makes it a whole lot easier to pet her.
[01:03:30] Unknown:
Yeah. Well yeah. And she'll grow a little bit more. Well, she ain't done growing yet. Yes. She ain't done growing yet. How old is she? Not quite two?
[01:03:41] Rich Chelson:
No. No. Not even close. Year and a month.
[01:03:45] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Well,
[01:03:47] Rich Chelson:
yeah. Two months.
[01:03:48] Unknown:
Yeah. You'll yeah. She'll be doing some growing without a doubt.
[01:03:53] Rich Chelson:
But but yeah. No. I I got I got I got a few other I got a few other recipes that Matt found on TikTok, and he sent them to me so I could save them. And, they, there's there's one I wanna try. Let's see. I gotta look at it again. It's bacon. It's good, of course, because it has bacon.
[01:04:18] Unknown:
Oh, good. Well
[01:04:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, it's you put you cook up six ounces of bacon, three tablespoons of butter, a third a cup brown sugar, nonstick cooking spray, and two cups of, pancake mix. That's it. And you put the bacon on the bottom and then put everything else on top, and then you bake it, and then you flip it over, and then put syrup on it and tie it up.
[01:04:51] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[01:04:52] Rich Chelson:
So so, yeah, that's that's the next thing I'm gonna make.
[01:04:57] Unknown:
And I'm sure you will make enough to have breakfast for two or three days.
[01:05:03] Rich Chelson:
Oh, probably so. Yeah. And,
[01:05:06] Unknown:
no. I no. Well, you'll have the pancake part for two or three days, but the bacon ain't gonna ain't gonna last but one meal.
[01:05:17] Rich Chelson:
Well, see see the thing, it it says to you six ounces of bacon. And I'm sitting here thinking, why would you want to limit yourself on just six ounces of bacon when a package is 12 ounces or, like, me, I buy it in a pound and a half. I mean Well Exactly.
[01:05:38] Unknown:
You know? So once the package is open, you might as well cook it all.
[01:05:44] Rich Chelson:
You got to. Because once you thaw it and once you open it, ain't no sense of putting it back. Cook it.
[01:05:52] Duuude-Ron :
Hell, yeah.
[01:05:53] Unknown:
Ain't no There's never there's never any sense of putting not cooking up the whole damn package of bacon.
[01:06:00] Rich Chelson:
I agree. I got it. That should
[01:06:02] Unknown:
be good. Especially with BLTs or b b b l t. B d b b l t. Bacon, bacon, bacon, lettuce, tomato.
[01:06:19] Rich Chelson:
With mayonnaise?
[01:06:21] Unknown:
Of course. But Never never ever skimp on the bacon. Never.
[01:06:29] Rich Chelson:
Uh-uh. So yeah. No. I wanna make that. And there there's I got I got a few other things in here I wanna make that that, that I mean, they're real simple and easy. And so it's like, yeah. I gotta try this stuff.
[01:06:44] Unknown:
Well, I saw one come across my Facebook feed, but they didn't give the amount for the ingredients. But I tell you what, it looked fucking delicious. You know how Outback Steakhouse has the blooming onion?
[01:07:01] Rich Chelson:
Uh-huh.
[01:07:02] Unknown:
Well, this is Amish blooming onions. And you take the onion, you mince it up, and then you make all the batter and everything, and you mix it together. And then you use a small ice cream scoop and put it in the hot grease, and they didn't they say it tastes just like a blooming onion, but a hell of a lot easier. If you see that again, send that to me. Hey. You know, and I probably have to research it because they showed what ingredients, but they did not give the amounts. Right. But I tell you what, I was very tempted not to lick the my phone screen.
Oh, yeah. Lumen onion is pretty pretty damn good.
[01:07:55] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. They are.
[01:07:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah, buddy.
[01:07:58] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They are.
[01:08:00] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I love I may drop out a little bit, here and there, guys, because I can run to town. Oh oh. Hey there, Doug Doug.
[01:08:09] Unknown:
Alright. And then they also and, again, they did not give the amounts for the blooming onion sauce.
[01:08:18] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I can get that on the Internet.
[01:08:21] Unknown:
I'm sure you can. I'm sure you could probably even get this recipe from the I'm sure there's an Amish cooking be a out there someplace that has it that has it in it.
[01:08:32] Rich Chelson:
Okay. And, what I'm seeing is they call them Amish onion fritters.
[01:08:39] Unknown:
Yeah. That's it. Mhmm. Okay.
[01:08:41] Duuude-Ron :
Yep.
[01:08:42] Rich Chelson:
Okay. So, yeah, it'd be, yeah, it'd be it'd be real easy to get. Is it is it that girl in a in a green Amish dress and a white hat that you saw?
[01:08:55] Unknown:
No. It it no. It just strictly showed them chopping up the ingredients and putting it in the pan. There you couldn't see any you know, who was actually making it.
[01:09:07] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay. Okay. You know, actually, because I've got a I've got a half an onion still in the refrigerator if it's still good.
[01:09:19] Unknown:
Oh my god. You cooked that you cooked that up with your beef stew hamburger creation that you now have you're not hamburger buns, but big enough for probably silver dollar hamburgers and your side dish being these onion fritters.
[01:09:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I would no. Honestly, those rolls didn't last long. I I have to make more. They were good. I mean, they didn't turn out light and fluffy or anything, but but I tell you what, those are some of the best damn rolls I've ever made.
[01:09:54] Unknown:
Well, yeah, they weren't big and fluffy, but they weren't ice ice pucks either or hockey pucks either.
[01:10:01] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. And I mean I mean, take some butter, throw some butter on, you know, on it. Well, I use real butter, so, you know, it doesn't melt right away, you know, when you you know, it doesn't spread easy. So so you you cut some butter, put it up on them, and then throw in a microwave for about forty seconds. The butter all melts and gets all slathering and gooey and oh, yeah.
[01:10:26] Unknown:
So that's why you get yourself a butter dish
[01:10:29] Duuude-Ron :
and take one of those sticks and just leave it on the fucking counter. Yep. It's salted butter. Salted butter in the dish will last all day. It's not going to go rancid because the of the salt.
[01:10:40] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I know. Well yeah. No.
[01:10:43] Duuude-Ron :
But And then when you wanna get ready to use the butter, it's all nice and soft and spreadable and just it's an angel's kiss.
[01:10:51] Unknown:
That you just you're just not you're skipping the step of the thirty seconds in the microwave where you Yeah. You'd be using that thirty seconds previously to eat the fucking rolls.
[01:11:07] Duuude-Ron :
Right? The problem is is that usually in the mornings whenever I start, I wanna use butter the most. And so, sadly, I'm still putting it in the microwave for thirty seconds because I'm half asleep going, oh, shit. I forgot the butter. And she said, you know, I have to cut it up into little slices, stick it on a on a on a the saucer and nuke it for a little bit and over nuke it. So now it's all ready. And and if you're gonna do that, and
[01:11:34] Unknown:
Well and if you're gonna do that, you might as well just melt the damn butter. Take your fucking time then, just melt the damn butter, and get yourself a little lack of a better words, one of those little paintbrushes and lather your bread with it.
[01:11:51] Duuude-Ron :
Well, yeah. I you could do you could use the basting brush, but I just take the bread, and I just slap it on top of the, on top of the saucer with the butter on it and flip it over. Add it to that. Then I go off, and I'll just go ahead and, and toast the bread up with it with the butter on there so it becomes nice and brown, and it's tasty and wonderful and yummy and good and
[01:12:10] Unknown:
awesome. And life and life is
[01:12:13] Duuude-Ron :
life is Life is good.
[01:12:15] Unknown:
Yeah. The song is Yeah. That's all.
[01:12:26] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah.
[01:12:27] Unknown:
Yeah. Hey. You know, that is the best way to
[01:12:31] Duuude-Ron :
butter corn, though. Right? You know that corn on the cob? Uh-huh. Yep. Just take it and spin it on top of the of a stick of butter.
[01:12:39] Unknown:
No. You heavily butter a piece of bread,
[01:12:44] Duuude-Ron :
and then you take better that way too. Yeah. Yeah. That way you get to eat the bread later.
[01:12:49] Unknown:
And then, yeah, once you get done sucking up all the corn that is heavily buttered, then you eat the bread that has nice warm butter. Right. Exactly.
[01:12:59] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. Well, I mean, we used to do the do the, the stick of, just throw it on the stick of butter, and by the time everybody got finished, everybody dad is always pissed because the butter was all fucked up. But god damn it. Butter's the best of them now. Yeah.
[01:13:17] Unknown:
Everybody after everybody strokes their core on the butter. Yeah. So, you know, yeah, that's another way to do it too. Yeah.
[01:13:27] Rich Chelson:
You know, if someone hears this and someone will hear this, they're gonna hear that stroking the corn statement. It just
[01:13:36] Duuude-Ron :
I was gonna say that's the title for the, for the show, the corn stroking Stroking the corn. Alright. What?
[01:13:49] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Somebody sees that, and they're gonna go, what
[01:13:52] Unknown:
the fuck
[01:13:53] Duuude-Ron :

[01:14:32] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, man. I'm pathetic.
[01:14:36] Rich Chelson:
You know you know Just one would think that, but our numbers for the last two episodes have really fucking rocked.
[01:14:47] Unknown:
Really?
[01:14:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's great. Nice.
[01:14:50] Rich Chelson:

[01:15:54] Duuude-Ron :
And, really, yeah, a lot of people wonder whenever I have a heart attack.
[01:16:00] Unknown:

[01:16:23] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. Last week's, the title of last week's episode is titled my therapist says.
[01:16:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I saw that.
[01:16:34] Unknown:
And, you How much did you come up with that?
[01:16:37] Rich Chelson:
AI, baby. Hey. Actually, actually, I took the audio from Auphonic or not the audio, the text because I, I have Auphonic do the transcription. And, I, put that into Gemini, and I said, give me three to five different funny and witty titles. And that was one of the titles. And I thought, oh my god. That would fit so well.
[01:17:06] Duuude-Ron :
And so Jim and I let you go ahead and throw all three hours worth of, of of, transcript into it? Yes. Wow. I always tried clogged, and it was like, oh, you got too much for too many letters on here, so you need to cut it back.
[01:17:23] Rich Chelson:
No. No. But but this is what this is one of the titles, Jim, and I came up with. And in the first twenty four hours through Pod Home, it says we had 11 downloads. And then in the last seven days, we had 24 download. Go. And then the the week before that, the, pink flamingo impersonators Uh-huh. That again, I was I had written down something close to that title right there, but there again, I took the transcript, put it into Gemini, and it that's one of the titles that it came up with. And that title, actually, we had nine downloads in the first twenty four hours and 14 downloads in the first seven days.
So, I mean, since since I've been, you know, taking the transcript and doing it this way, I've noticed our numbers have and I think it's also the time of year too. Because, I mean, for a while, we were, you know, doing okay, but not the greatest.
[01:18:39] Duuude-Ron :
You know? Well, I think it a lot of it yeah. The summer summer has just kinda been a huge drop. I mean, because even though even though I haven't put anything out on on my podcast in a long while, It has there's there's been a lot of of, of of Activity. Activity. Yeah. Just Yeah. Interestingly, everything has been building up. It's weird. It's like, wow.
[01:19:06] Rich Chelson:
I know. I know. It's completely
[01:19:09] Unknown:
dark out at 08:00 now.
[01:19:12] Rich Chelson:
Alright. Well, here here at seven, dude.
[01:19:17] Unknown:
So complete darkness at seven Yes. Right now?
[01:19:21] Rich Chelson:

[01:19:26] Unknown:
Wow. Yeah. And it may have been here. I really didn't fucking pay attention. But So I have a cigarette. It's dark. So
[01:19:35] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. No. It it seems like the last five or six titles, you know, since I started using Gemini in the in the transcript, the the audio transcript. Again, it's could be that time of year, but, you know, in now now I did have one. I will say I did have one where, where a Gemini would not give me the right kinda title. It was just wanting to just talk about Bella. You know? I mean, we did
[01:20:13] Duuude-Ron :
We talked all about Bella. So
[01:20:15] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And I'm like, no. Damn it. And then so so I wound up I used I think, I used Copilot and tried to see what come up there. And I think I used Aria out of opera, and I finally found a a, decent title between, you know
[01:20:38] Unknown:
Why didn't you get why didn't you just call it a man and his dog?
[01:20:42] Rich Chelson:
No. Because because you see you see the thing is, there's three hours. We didn't talk about Bella for three hours, and that'd be boring as fuck anyway.
[01:20:51] Duuude-Ron :
Well, no.
[01:20:53] Rich Chelson:
You know? It's it's on the It wouldn't be boring to Bella. Well, Bella doesn't give to Yeah. Yeah. Cinnamon's. As long as I pet the dog and feed her when she wants fed, she's happy, which is constantly, but she's happy.
[01:21:12] Unknown:
Exactly. You just hit the nail on the head. You know, we're talking about Bella, and she's, like, right there looking at you and getting attention the whole damn time.
[01:21:28] Rich Chelson:
Right? But yeah. No. It just the there's been only one of the episodes where where I really had to, you know, try some other prompts and and and other AIs to help with the title. Because, I mean, I can come up with titles. You can come up with titles, but I'm trying to find titles that will catch someone's attention and also make them wonder, think, laugh, whatever, groan. You know? I think groan or entertain. Yeah. You know, I mean, I'm good for one or two a year, and I've already exceeded that.
[01:22:09] Unknown:
So Uh-huh. Yep. I need help. And and I ain't gonna give you any help because I ain't that damn creative.
[01:22:16] Rich Chelson:

[01:22:26] Unknown:
Have I? Yes. Yeah. Well, hot damn.

But as people were getting lined up to get on the trailer, they had it was at a horse like, a horse arena where they where they stage it out of, and they had some fencing. And I shook that fence and just screamed Banshee, and I tell you what, scared the shit out of all the patrons that were standing in that area when I did that. But that was my that's what they made me up to be. Like that? I can tell you that's an ugly motherfucker right there. How much I got about a thousand over a thousand pictures in my gallery.
Would that take a hell of a lot of fuck does that take a lot of fucking space out of my memory for my phone?
[01:30:26] Duuude-Ron :
No. It'll definitely, free up some, some storage. Well Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Back them up to, like, Google Photos or Yeah. I would say at least put them in I and you could actually even set up if you end up having too much where Google Photos goes, you're gonna have to your fucking here. Uh-huh. $2 a month is all it takes to to to show the the fuel that that I ever made.
[01:30:56] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Well, actually, I just need to get rid of a lot of My Google Storage is $2
[01:31:02] Duuude-Ron :
$2 a month. So And then you can if you're ever looking for something in particular, you can actually just go into Google Photos and type in, like, red Jeep, and it'll look through, and it'll pull up all the red. Typically, it'll pull up all the red Jeep. Sometimes it'll just find a red vehicle that kinda is a Jeep like item, and so it might throw those up also. But yeah.
[01:31:25] Rich Chelson:
Google Google Photos gives you 15 gigs. So, yeah, a thousand photos is not even gonna come close to that. Not normal. Okay.
[01:31:34] Unknown:

[01:32:55] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. I get him. It's it's it's not a big deal. But, yeah, as far because you see, when I had the free tier of Google Photos, or, you know, the 15 gigs between I I mean, the most I ever got up to through my email drive and Google Photos, I think I got up to, shoot, five gigs.
[01:33:21] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Well, I used to I I've had two Google Photos for so long that I it was back when you could actually you you could you had unlimited picture storage if you did the the Google's proprietary squish down method Yeah. They had a higher compression style. And if you did that, then for a long time longest time, they're like, yeah. You throw all the photos you want on there, and and they it was a separate amount. And then even, like, how to make money off of it. So we're gonna I've been able to I think there's a very bad, this model.

And, and, yeah, I I could tell you for the next twelve hours while that thing was progressing through my intestines exactly where that fucker was. I mean, that's the first one that got hot enough and upset my stomach enough where I almost rapped.
I got the sweats and the shakes and all that because we had got finished eating. I was like, oh, well, you know, that's really freaking hot. So let's go ahead and let's go grab the pizzas. And so I ordered some pizzas and had dinner. And we drove, where am I? I started sweating, and my stomach was, like, going, yep. Bitch. We're getting tired. I'm getting tired of messing with you. And I ended up having to stop by, a convenience store and grabbing a, grabbing a a a half gallon of, of milk. Little bit more? No. No. I I did milk. Just a half gallon of milk and chugged it all down, and that that's all it needed. After that, my stomach was like, ah, fuck. You earned all the fun and settled down.
[01:39:16] Unknown:
Now Dave, a friend of mine that I was talking about earlier Uh-huh. He he grows those, and I can't remember, but he grows one or two that are hotter than a Carolina Reaper.
[01:39:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. What is it? It's supposed to be the Trinidad Scorpion pepper that's supposed to be hotter if I'm remembering that?

No. I ain't touching shit that's in his fucking garden. You talk about The assholes. The flame oh, gee. You know? No. Fire, and that fire would be coming out of the fucking manhole cover out in the goddamn street, like, a block away. And he will literally sit down and eat one of those motherfuckers and maybe catch a sweat. I'm like, dude, more power to you. I don't have the intestinal fortitude.

His whole backyard is a pepper garden. I mean, he has, like, about close to a 100 pots of peppers in his backyard. Crazy. But that's his hobby.
[01:41:12] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I love all the power to him.
[01:41:17] Unknown:
Knock yourself out. Yeah. He he competes in a contest. It's a nationwide contest for growing and not by the hotness. They the the leader of the group will pick Mhmm. The pepper for the contest, and it's the number of peppers that you're able to harvest off of that one plant in a growing season.
[01:41:46] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[01:41:48] Unknown:
Last year, he won, and everybody else in the group, all their numbers came up to half of what he produced.

[01:42:16] Rich Chelson:
That's crazy.
[01:42:17] Unknown:
So he takes about a majority of them, takes it down to one of his friends, and that owns a restaurant and makes salsa out of his peppers, gives him about a third of the sauce, and then the guy that makes the salsa keeps about two thirds, but he puts it out in his restaurant for free. Yeah. That's worse than the green sauce. In some of these, Mexican restaurants. That's like that. What is that? Chinese or, Japanese? What's that hot freaking sauce in Japan? What the hell is that called?
[01:43:06] Rich Chelson:
Wasabi.
[01:43:07] Unknown:
Wasabi. This green sauce when I was growing up, one of the kids I hung out at the skating rink with, was Mexican. And his dad, I just barely put not even a pea size on my tongue. Oh my god. Thought I was gonna have a heart attack. His dad, and I think it was at one of the I think it was at Ken's birthday party. His dad was eating that shit by the tablespoon like it was fucking cereal. I'm like, more fucking power you to you there, dad, daddy o. So, yeah, I'll get you a couple of those peppers here, Brian. Send them to you.

[01:44:01] Rich Chelson:
And some chili
[01:44:03] Duuude-Ron :
and and that's I'll just I'll just take them, grind them up into into a paste, and give it to my give it to my daughter so she can go off and go off and torture her husband with it.
[01:44:15] Rich Chelson:
There you go. So make him make him make him a treat and and spread this stuff on the inside. Make sure it's on the inside.
[01:44:25] Unknown:
Yeah.
[01:44:27] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, I can get you Oh, I gotta tell you. Powder. Speaking of speaking of that, speaking go ahead.
[01:44:33] Unknown:
I can get you some powder if you want.
[01:44:36] Duuude-Ron :
I just got you some I need to. Yeah. But I tell you, this week, in all reality, was a very fucking rough week. Because last year last we talked about, she had moved out. Right? Yeah. Uh-huh. Well, she she Sunday night, she went back to her. Really? And that yeah. Yep. And that had me that was the angriest and darkest I think I've ever been in my life. And when I say dark, I mean, I actually realized how capable of murder I actually am.
[01:45:19] Unknown:
So you basically had to put your knife in your hand?
[01:45:23] Duuude-Ron :
I had I had the knife, the gun. I was gonna take a razor blade. I was gonna actually cut his just to screw them off. I am faced down over an amp pit and then just start taking little bits off of them. I was gonna go into torture torture the whole way. I mean, just it was I was like, yeah. It took the majority of the day for me to finally get past that and just, you know, find you know, what do we need to what do we really need to do? We really need to find out a way to make sure little bit is safe. That's, you know, that's the that's the big thing. And so that was my big focus After that, it was like, alright. Well, let's just get her safe.
Daughter, she can she can be stupid until to the point to where he causes irreputable harm. Then after that, I'll start, I'll start scouting, places that he might wind up.
[01:46:28] Unknown:
What did she give a reason as to why?
[01:46:33] Duuude-Ron :
He is her her soulmate. Her soul craves him. It's like, no. It doesn't. You're craving his approval. And that's that's what that's what the whole trauma bond sequence is because it starts off and she had talked about it. It was like, I loved it when we first met. He was just he was all so giving, and it was just so much love and so much caring and so much so many jokes. And, you know, we were going to on dates. We were going to churches. We're going to the theater. We were going here, and we were just doing I was like, yeah. That is called a love bomb. It was giving you love bombs, and what they do is there's actually about seven steps that are are seven stages in trauma bonding.
So the first step is the, is the love bombing. He gets gets you to where you're just so full of of love, and and you feel all these wonderful, great, positive emotions. You got your, you know, your your your oxytocin is to the max. Your your serotonin is is maxed out. I mean, it's everything. It's like you are just taking mainlining meth and heroin and and, and cocaine all at once. I mean, it's just a huge just a huge boom of of emotions and thoughts and all that. And with that, then he starts to develop he causes the the, the the I'm gonna call him a narcissist, though. I I don't know exactly what husband is. Wife beater. He's not husband. He's wife beater. Don't know what wife beater actually would be diagnosed in.
But then starts to build on the trust and dependence on him.
[01:48:30] Unknown:
Right.
[01:48:31] Duuude-Ron :
And from there, it goes to he starts criticizing and devaluating. So he starts giving got them got them there, broke the trust, like, I'm never leaving you. You are always with me. Yada yada yada yada yada yada. Why are you wearing that dress? Why are you, you know, starting to nitpick and just starting to criticize? And, you know, that makes you look cheap. You know? Why are you wearing that those, those shoes? That's that's a slutty set of shoes. You shouldn't be wearing those. Then there's the manipulation and the gaslighting. So now he gets to start doing the well, if you love me, you'll do this.
Prove yourself to me. Do what I want you to do because if you don't, you don't love me. You you're I have shown all this love to you and you're not doing anything for me in return. That type of stuff. Eventually, she gets to the point of resignating and giving up and going not, if I just am good, if I just do what he wants, he'll give me more of that love. Because that's all they want. That's all the the victim wants is more of the love bombing, more of the bombing, just eternal continuous spread of of positive feelings, affirmations, and all that.
So, eventually, she gives up. You have the loss of self. There's the emotional addiction at the very end. And when eventually well, it end it lost itself. Eventually, it comes to the point where I'm done. I'm out of here. God. And that's where they'll usually have a split. So they split up. They go one yeah. And for, you know, maybe twenty four hours, which is about the first time, first and second time. And then this last time, it was for, about a week. Well, we And Her needed to be back with him.
[01:50:30] Unknown:
So, currently, she's back with him.
[01:50:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Currently, she's back with him, and he started up the lab bombing phase. And I figured it was gonna last about a week and a half to to the very most three weeks of where he's going to, he's gonna drive momma, get her built back up, and then he was going to the rest of the stages were gonna go raw faster. I was wrong. It lasted a a week. Just yesterday or day before yesterday, they had another big old fight. And she was about she basically said, I'm done. I'm out of here. She went to go try to leave, and he decided, I'm I'm I'm gonna change. I'm gonna I'm I'm I'm gonna gonna change because they had went off and did the dumbass stupid thing. Why she wants to play the damn game is beyond math. Told her it's like, you know, if you if you really want to see how true he is about what he's saying.
When he tries to pick a fight, don't respond. Do not react to what he's saying. Don't give a emotional facial emotion. Don't give voice voice or auditory emotions. Just okay. Just one word answers. And if he's truly changed, he won't they can't he'll ask about it, but he won't get angry about it. If he hasn't changed, he'll get angry because he wants the the whole part about control is, do I have enough control over this this human being to get them to do what I want them to do? If they can't get them to respond the way I want them to do, then I don't have the control. And why waste my time with them? So let's get angry, and let's start yelling, and let's start throwing things, and let's start getting violent to get them to respond the way I want them to respond.
I mean, that's what wife Peter did with me. He wanted to try so hard to get a rise out of me by saying by saying stuff. And that was just like, oh, okay. Whatever. Oh, we fixed to go to bed? Hold up, guys. I gotta tell tell munch. Good night night. I'll be right back. Alright. Okay.
[01:52:45] Unknown:
So when yeah. When so you think you said you're gonna have your antenna up by the time I get there, you think?
[01:52:54] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. I mean I mean, my plans are are to have it up by Saturday. I've gotta finish building it tomorrow, and it depends on how I feel
[01:53:07] Unknown:
Right.
[01:53:08] Rich Chelson:
As to, if I try and put it up tomorrow, but it'll probably be Saturday.
[01:53:14] Unknown:
Oh, okay. So are the now it's getting to be, what, mid September now? The signal's getting better? Yep.
[01:53:23] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Okay. Good. Except for the geese storm that y'all had earlier this week. You know Did that make any big difference?
[01:53:34] Rich Chelson:
No. No. I mean, kind of. Not really. But you know what's funny? I had seen I had seen higher storms earlier this year. You know? I mean I mean, honestly honestly, I read the article. The only reason why something was said about it the only reason something was said about it was because it knocked out, satellite Internet. Starlink users were fucking going nuts because the solar storm affected their Internet.
[01:54:05] Duuude-Ron :
Kicked out their Internet. Yeah. Honestly, it wasn't as strong enough strong enough with with a storm that actually would move the satellites out of out of orbit.
[01:54:14] Rich Chelson:
No. It didn't. No. It didn't. That would've really sucked. No. No. It doesn't it doesn't move them out of orbit. It just there's just so much Well, you have the solar winds that go with it. That's Well, yeah. But it doesn't move the satellites out of orbit. It just it just blocks the signals. It absorbs all of the signals Wow. When it does that. And, yeah, there was there was some there was some of the bands that, yeah, you weren't getting on, you know, or whatnot, and that's just that's expected. But I had seen, you know, a couple worse storms this year earlier this year. So that's why when I read the article, I'm like you know? Because when I read articles like that, I'm like, okay. Why are they talking about this? And then, basically, it was it was because of the Starlink Internet was was going out. I'm like, this is I mean, I'm not knocking Starlink, okay, because, I mean,
[01:55:13] Duuude-Ron :
it's awesome that they've done It provides a good service.
[01:55:16] Rich Chelson:
It does. But, you know, solar storms can affect things. You know? This is why we need to move forward with our technology
[01:55:27] Unknown:
to do it. The the storm, how big was the solar flare that caused it?
[01:55:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, it's It was a g three storm, which, I mean yeah. Like I said, I've seen bigger. The, k index got up to seven, which is, you know, pretty high. That that'll that'll definitely mess with quite a few communication systems. But, yeah, I wasn't I wasn't too worried about it when I saw it. Because earlier this year, I had saw it. We had an x class flare that hit, and it shot the k index up to over nine.
[01:56:08] Unknown:
Well, I know. I it's that strong. And what does that mean?
[01:56:11] Rich Chelson:
You're looking at a well, we had the x class flare. That's that's the strongest you can get. I think it was an x three, and it the, the, k index is okay. What is it? Hang on. I got the
[01:56:27] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, that's why I'm asking.
[01:56:29] Rich Chelson:
I know it, and you wouldn't have to ask at that
[01:56:34] Duuude-Ron :
right at the wrong time.
[01:56:37] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's I'm not hang on. I'm not sure what say say the k index, say the sunspot numbers, SEFI. Yeah. It's k. I can't think of what KP stands for. Keplerian indices or something like that.
[01:56:59] Unknown:
Kitchen patrol. Yeah.
[01:57:01] Rich Chelson:
Hang on a second.
[01:57:05] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly.
[01:57:07] Rich Chelson:
What?
[01:57:10] Duuude-Ron :
K. What KP stands for? K. P. P. Stands for. K. P. Patrol. Oh, right. Right.
[01:57:15] Rich Chelson:
No. It it it it measure the k index measures the strength of disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field on a scale of zero to nine. Oh, okay. So that's that's the k index. And seven seven means with the solar winds that was coming, it it jazzed the Earth up. The Earth was all jazzed up, spitting its shit right into all this and, yeah, knocked out STARLINK. And and it and it had a hard little bit of a hard time with AM radio, but like I said, nothing too bad.
[01:57:54] Unknown:
You know? Don't worry about STARLINK. He just put another eight satellites up this week.
[01:58:00] Rich Chelson:
That's fine. I mean, you you know, I'm I mean, that's fine. You see, that's the thing, though. Everyone you know, when when when, you know, they do this, like, with HughesNet. HughesNet, you see, no one talked about HughesNet, and I know HughesNet got knocked out. Okay. I mean, I I don't know I don't know how how many up north have HughesNet anymore. But because because this solar storm was was mainly in the northern half, and that was from, like, Nebraska. You know? It was it was hitting the northern half of the globe and and everything. But, yeah, satellite Internet is is very prone to one belt from the sun, and it could knock out satellite Internet.
[01:58:52] Unknown:
Yeah. I was watching a show on new National Geographic's something universe, wonderful use yeah. Hell, I don't remember the name of the show. But they showed a a solar flare, and they were estimated it it reached out about 350,000 miles.
[01:59:13] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm.
[01:59:14] Unknown:
You know? I was like, wow. And then in about eight minutes later, that just fucks up the Earth.
[01:59:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It depends on the solar winds then as to how fast it hits here.
[01:59:27] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Yeah. Gotcha.
[01:59:30] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. The solar winds is what pushes it.
[01:59:34] Unknown:
Oh, okay. So, yeah, then that's considerably slower then. Alright. So, Brian, your daughter is back into the
[01:59:48] Duuude-Ron :
Now that Yep. Back and back in the relationship with the wife, Peter.
[01:59:52] Unknown:
When is she going to be able to understand this these cycles and get out from underneath of it?
[02:00:05] Duuude-Ron :
Well, from what I've been able to read, understand, and I've talked to a couple of couple women who have been in who worked with, women in crisis centers and stuff like that. If they survive long enough, it's about eight to eight cycles. On average, about eight times, they will leave before they finally go, you know what? I'm done. I'm gone. I'm gone for good.
[02:00:30] Rich Chelson:
Oh, okay.
[02:00:31] Duuude-Ron :
And now and now this is my opinion. But the the key the kicker is if they survive that long. Right. Physically
[02:00:40] Unknown:
survive? Yeah. It it I didn't mean survive that long. Because anytime anytime
[02:00:47] Duuude-Ron :
because a lot of times, abusers, when when they when the victim leaves and comes back, essentially, what they're saying is, okay. You didn't push me too far. I am still willing to hang around. And so, basically, the guy the guy will keep or the or the woman, both of them do this, will keep up in the abuse. So right now, yeah, he may have he, he, you know, has had times where he got angry enough to where he picked her up and threw her down the, through it down the hall. He's yanked her back, yanked her by by her hair or by the back of the, her clothes, back down onto the ground. He's threatened violence, things like that. Well, now what will normally happen is probably somewhere along the way, there won't be anything severe, but he's gonna leave a bruise someplace.
Maybe on the face, maybe in the back, maybe in the arm, maybe on the leg, maybe on the stomach. You know? But there's gonna be more likely, it'll get to the point before they leave a bruise. And, eventually, it'll get more bruises to, eventually, there's a broken leg, there's a broken bone someplace to a point where they just lose all sense of control and ends up killing the victim if they do not leave in time.
[02:02:08] Unknown:
And I completely understand. We have to hope that my daughter went to the thing same thing.
[02:02:14] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. And so it's just it's one of those words just, we've got to I I do what I can to ensure a little bit is is safe. That's one reason why she is here in Pottsville with me and with dad and her dad and and and my son. So we all three hang out hang out real well. So we're all, you know, we're just we're had a guy's trip with a little bit, take her down to paradise, hang out for a little while. And, and that way, my daughter gets a chance to, kinda think things through without having to worry about worry about, Aspen running around. And, eventually, I will, I'm gonna try to talk her into let, let dad hold on to Aspen until until things either, a, cool down, b, get so far out of hand that you're that you've decided you actually have had enough or you, or you know? That way, she doesn't get hurt. And so last couple times I talked to her, she still had a little bit of head on her shoulders. She just goes stupid when you talk about wife beater.
So
[02:03:30] Unknown:
Well, hopefully, it doesn't get that far.
[02:03:34] Duuude-Ron :
I don't think it will. But like I said, if it does, well, I I got an idea of what I'm gonna do, and I think, I'm I'm at peace in being in jail, but at the same time, the only thing that's helped me really that kept me back this week of just parking the truck, getting and heading to heading to town was was a fact of someone's gotta take care of Jenna.
[02:03:59] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:04:01] Duuude-Ron :
So because, I mean, that's that's that's my job and and also to be able to to do anything, be able to serve her the way that I promised that I would serve her. I have to, have to wait until wait until I know how to, how to get have her taken care of. So so, yep, that's about that's what we got on there. But
[02:04:29] Unknown:
Yeah. So and trust me. I know exactly what you're going through.
[02:04:34] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. That's true. You, you have experienced the same thing.
[02:04:38] Unknown:
Yep. Well, maybe one day, somebody will know somebody that is acquaintance of somebody who has a good friend of can take care of these matters.
[02:04:53] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Yeah. That'll be I'm sure if I did did enough searching, may just have to start figuring out how to use the dark mat.
[02:05:05] Rich Chelson:
That's not hard.
[02:05:07] Duuude-Ron :
No. I've I've piddled around there a little bit, but so
[02:05:13] Unknown:
Well, again, hopefully, she
[02:05:16] Duuude-Ron :
doesn't go back. She pops her head out of brass. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be the big deal. Can you can you successfully dislodge your head from your anus, please, so I don't have to worry about it no more?
[02:05:28] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, since she's down there with you guys, you guys or have you been sitting down and talking with her on all this?
[02:05:37] Duuude-Ron :
No. Not not Alexis. Alexis is still up in, up in Amarillo. We just ran off a little bit.
[02:05:43] Unknown:
Oh, okay.
[02:05:45] Duuude-Ron :
Because she's supposed to be. She claims that he's decided that he's gonna let her get a job because that was one of the things that he liked to do was say, butch about not having any money and that she needed to get a job. So she'd start going out and trying to find a job, and he would throw a fit about about how she looked when she went out to go look for a job. This is like, well, yeah, I've gotta gotta look nice one way or the other. You know? And, but, yep, he didn't like it when, when she dressed up. So Wow. It was just one of those where it's like, alright. Not you know?
You can't have it both ways.
[02:06:24] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Well, maybe you just need to find the stupid stick.
[02:06:31] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. It's actually not hard not hard to find. It's I think it's hanging up in the, over in the silk tree down the road I think there's a couple there that would work real well.
[02:06:45] Unknown:
Yep. Well, I'll pray that, things get better.
[02:06:51] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They they will. They they've they've got to. So because, yeah, it's not not gonna do anybody any good to be completely worked up over this damn thing every, you know, every two to three weeks or however long it takes for for them to decide they're gonna be mad at everybody again.
[02:07:13] Unknown:
Sam. Well, the only thing I would say is that, you know, if she gets bruised, then she needs to find something and give him twice the size of a bruise. Yep.
[02:07:31] Duuude-Ron :
Absolutely. So that is my thought. Yeah. So but, anyhoo so so what's, what's Bella been up to there, Rich?
[02:07:47] Unknown:
Growing.
[02:07:48] Duuude-Ron :
Growing?
[02:07:50] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. She's growing.
[02:07:52] Duuude-Ron :
She learning any new tricks yet?
[02:07:55] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I don't fucking tear shit up. Oh. Yeah. She I I I had her on up these days. Well, her water bowl outside, she was pissed because I was I was out in the yard doing things, and she was outside or I was in the house doing something, whatever. I was busy, and I didn't need her under my feet. Right? Uh-huh. So I had her out back, and I was taking a break. I was like, I need to go check on her. And I go walking out, and I had a big old oh god. It was a, like, a five quart water bowl, plastic water bowl.
[02:08:38] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[02:08:38] Rich Chelson:
She had grabbed it, dumped it, and then proceeded to destroy it. And I don't know when she did it, you know, or anything like that. You know? So and I was like, okay. And, I mean, I wasn't I wasn't mad mad about it. You know? I was just like, alright. Fine. You could you're the one that fucked yourself. You did this whenever. It's, hey. You're the one without water, not me. Uh-huh. And but but I still made her understand that what she did was wrong.
[02:09:15] Unknown:
And Yeah.
[02:09:17] Rich Chelson:
So I threw that away. I I went and got a metal pan this time while Uh-huh. Wrapped it on the ground. I said, no. I like to see you tear that one up. And I filled it with water again, and she tried to come inside. I said, oh, hell no. Uh-huh. Your ass gonna stay outside. And, I left her out for another hour or two. Well, my dumbass left my cigarettes in my chair. When I come back out, my chair was pulled over, and and she had shredded the pack. I think I saved three cigarettes out of it. And I was just like, oh my god. What the fuck? You know? Because normally, Bella doesn't, you know, mess Attitude.
Yeah. And it's like, okay. Guess what? No. You're staying outside some more. You're gonna learn. She hasn't done anything like that since.
[02:10:17] Unknown:
I just going going through the terrible twos.
[02:10:22] Rich Chelson:
I know. And and, you know, I I mean, I I just it's like and and you see, that's the thing. I mean, I wasn't I wasn't you know, like I said, I wasn't mad mad, but it's the fact that I'm sitting here thinking, no. You don't run my house, honey. No way. You are. Just because I wouldn't let you in one time, you wanna tear up your water bowl? That's your day. You know? Yeah. Yeah. And so, yeah, she she hasn't tried to, tip over the water bowl again.
[02:10:59] Unknown:
Well, that's good. Oh, good. Because she's gonna have a lot of fun trying to tear up a metal water bowl.
[02:11:06] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. You know, she might chew up the handles, which are, they're plastic, I think, but that would still be a problem to do that. Yeah. So but, yeah, it was it it was a pen that that you know, I'd use it for quite a bit, but, I mean I mean, since I've been down here, I really haven't used it that much because I got other pans I use. I'm like, yeah. I'll just use that for for water.
[02:11:37] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:11:38] Rich Chelson:
But but, yeah, she trying to so I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do no you ain't. You're gonna learn. You know? But other than that, I mean, she's been doing okay.
[02:11:52] Unknown:
Oh, that's good.
[02:11:53] Rich Chelson:
Well, it didn't 04:30 the other fucking morning.
[02:11:57] Duuude-Ron :
Uh-huh.
[02:11:58] Rich Chelson:
Not happy about that.
[02:12:01] Duuude-Ron :
Wanted to wanted to had a bad dream, need to sleep at all.
[02:12:05] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. She just make a noise in her kennel because she was hungry.
[02:12:11] Unknown:
Oh. Mhmm.
[02:12:15] Rich Chelson:
Yep. So, yeah, I was up at 04:30, and I was just like, oh god. I mean, it was it was nice because I was a very quiet morning. It was, like, 69 degrees. You know? And it, it just I mean, it was actually a really nice morning.
[02:12:34] Unknown:
Yep. Nice and comfortable.
[02:12:36] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And so yeah. Even though even though I wanted to sleep in till, you know, 05:30 or six, you know, I was like, okay. I'll deal with it. It's cool. Yeah. But I was tired as shit last night. That was yesterday morning when she woke me up at 04:30. I got to sleep till 06:30 this morning.
[02:13:00] Unknown:
That's good.
[02:13:01] Rich Chelson:
Right?
[02:13:02] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, hopefully, hopefully, I can sleep the whole night tonight. That'd be nice. Yep.
[02:13:09] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. And something else I can't do either with her around. Grab the Jeep keys.
[02:13:17] Duuude-Ron :
Hey. Time to move, bro. How's it going?
[02:13:20] Rich Chelson:
I don't care I don't care if she's snoring. If she hears those Jeep keys even jingle once or or a lot of times, I'll start my Jeep Time to go. Start. Oh my Uh-huh. She gets out. She she comes straight up, and she ready to go right then and there.
[02:13:40] Duuude-Ron :
And it doesn't matter where it is. By the door. Alright. When we going? When we going? Right?
[02:13:45] Rich Chelson:
Then she'll run over. Come on, dad. Come on. Come on. It's like, give me a break. I'm not as fast as you.
[02:13:51] Duuude-Ron :
So but, yeah, I've taken But you started I started the truck, so let's go. Come on. Right.
[02:13:58] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. She's like, I hear it running. I hear it running. But yeah. No. No. She no. She'd been doing pretty good last couple days. So just sleeping quite a bit.
[02:14:14] Unknown:
No. Well, that's that's the breed for you. Yeah. They will they will do a lot of sleeping.
[02:14:21] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's fine. That's fine because when she's up, she's she's, like, right next to me. Uh-huh. Literally, right next to me. It's like, dang it, dog. Go be a puppy. Play with something.
[02:14:36] Duuude-Ron :
Just like I am. No. I did. You got mad at me and changed out my my bowl to for for a non a non chewable wonder.
[02:14:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They just I was like I was like because you see at first when I walked out, I I was looking around. I didn't see her, and then I didn't see the bowl either. And then I saw Bella, and I'm I'm looking around for the water bowl. I'm like, where the hell did it go? I hadn't been out there and moved it. And then I looked a little further out in the yard, and it is in pieces. I was like, oh, hell no. Uh-uh. No. You you did just do that. Yeah. She, yeah, she knew she had messed up because when I went out to pick up the pieces, she followed me, but she stayed back a few feet. She didn't even try and come up near me.
You know? I mean, I wasn't I wasn't gonna do anything but deal it. But Bella knew she messed up.
[02:15:40] Unknown:
Yeah. You know? So Right. I'm like, no. Well, at least she's learning.
[02:15:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. She is. I will say that dog can shit too. Oh my god. She shits like the entire day.
[02:16:00] Unknown:
Yeah. And they're like, the steaming divot.
[02:16:05] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. It dude, it's piles, man.
[02:16:08] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:16:09] Rich Chelson:
It's fucking pie. And it in fact, it takes it takes two of them fuck because because the fence yard is is so small. Uh-huh. You get four or five piles there. I mean, it it it, like, crowds your space. You know? And so and so I gotta fucking pick up her dough shit just about every day. I will every day. I can't I can't let it go because, you know, it it shit. It'd be all over the place. You know? Yeah. I have to use Right. Two of them trash bags because I can't fit everything into one.
[02:16:45] Unknown:
Well, at least she has a healthy poop.
[02:16:48] Rich Chelson:
Well, this is true. She is healthy. There there is no question about that. No question.
[02:16:55] Duuude-Ron :
Ain't starving. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:16:57] Rich Chelson:
No. God. No. No. She ain't starving. Shit. The dog would eat all day if I'd let her. I can't afford that much dog food.
[02:17:09] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. You know?
[02:17:12] Rich Chelson:
Now I now I wind up giving her about well, now I'm up to about two two and a quarter, two and a half pounds of food a day.
[02:17:21] Duuude-Ron :
My dogs? Oh, wow.
[02:17:23] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. About about 30 or 40 ounces. So yeah. And she'd eat more if I'd let her.
[02:17:31] Unknown:
So how many of the one cup measuring cups Is that a day that you're that she's getting?
[02:17:41] Rich Chelson:
About six cups. Six or seven cups depending.
[02:17:47] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[02:17:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's it's it's I use I use a 12 ounce coffee cup. Yeah. It's a 12 ounce because it because, hey. A 12 ounce coffee cup holds two cups of coffee because a regular cup is a small if if you look it up, a regular cup, when they say a 12 cup coffee maker, in our coffee cups, regular coffee cups, that's only six cups. So when they say a 12 cup coffee maker, they're talking about small cups that you have to hold your pinky out when you drink. Yeah. Okay. So, it's true because, you know, I I tried it with this coffee pot because it says it's 12 cup 12 cup coffee maker.
And I remember one day I was drinking coffee earlier this year. I was drinking coffee, and all of a sudden, I'm out of coffee. I'm like, what the hell? And then I was adding up. I only had six cups. This thing lied to me. I got to thinking about it. No. Because they're talk people they think people drink the little tiny cups. No. They don't know real coffee drinkers. Right. If they sold it as a six cup coffee maker, they wouldn't sell any. So so, hence, they don't tell you that they base it off the little tiny cups with the pinky out.
They just say, oh, it's oh, it'll do 12 cups. It'll do 14 cups. No. It won't. And try it. You know what I mean? But Mhmm. So, yeah, that's but that's that's how I learned that because I just thought that my my my my coffee pot stiffed me.
[02:19:47] Duuude-Ron :
But
[02:19:49] Rich Chelson:
well, I did. That's that's why I checked it. But but that's I take I take one in cups, and I give her, like, three. Now now three, three and a half full cups of those. Normally, those are heaping. So and she scarves that down in about two minutes because she's she's afraid dad's gonna go outside and smoke a cigarette, and she's not gonna be right there. Right. Even though I'm sitting right there by the door, she knows where I'm sitting at. And I can hear her running up to the door. You know what I mean? But no. Right.
No. She thinks I can't see that. Can't hear
[02:20:38] Duuude-Ron :
him. Yeah.

Just so you got everything all seated down. She and and stuff. That way, she's not overstepping any boundaries. It might become a problem down the road speaking from experience on that one. So you know?

[02:24:25] Duuude-Ron :
I mean ever get bored, they get into trouble together. It's amazing.
[02:24:30] Rich Chelson:
Right. Well, you know, that that thought had crossed my mind. You know? Bella would have some you know, someone to play with and all, and I'm thinking, yep. Twice the shit to pick up. Twice the shit to fix because the dogs would tear stuff up. You know? And then, of course, I would have two dogs I would have to ride. Yeah.
[02:24:52] Duuude-Ron :
You know? And they would ride the back seat because, you know, missus would be in the the the girlfriend would be riding in the passenger seat. So you know?
[02:25:02] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:25:02] Duuude-Ron :
So yeah. He's completely trying to avoid the the girlfriend's side. He's like, yeah. Yeah. Nope. Nope. Talking about two dogs. No. We ain't doing nothing with a girl.
[02:25:15] Rich Chelson:
Well, as long as she was willing to help with the dogs, you know, that would be fine.
[02:25:20] Duuude-Ron :
Alright. So Alright. Well, we are getting close to that big time. So Yeah. Hang on. Do Anyhow.
[02:25:32] Rich Chelson:
Go ahead. Okay. Just make sure you Hey. Yes.
[02:25:36] Duuude-Ron :
Just making sure you're still still awake and kicking.
[02:25:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Still awake and kicking. So For about another as well. Another ten minutes. And in about eleven minutes yep. In eleven minutes, I'll be sawing down for us.
[02:25:52] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. We're talking the same way. That little that that trip has worn me out. And, today, usually, I can I'm usually jazzed whenever I get home get here today. Well, I got got everything all brought in, and I sat down going, whoo. I am beat. I am tired. So but, yeah, so this show, ladies and gentlemen, those folks in the audience, this show is not your typical show. We do not if you noticed, we haven't done any type of advertisements. We don't do mattresses or or or toothbrushes or razors or even any type of, any type of pharmaceuticals, any drop ins, anything like that. We it's not something that we do. We are a value for value show, which which means that if you find any value for what we do, then you can pull that back in three different ways. You can do time, talent, or treasure. That's the easy easiest way to look at it. You got your time.
You could, go through, set up a, chapters for us because we use, use podcast in two point o standards. So that means that our chapters are cloud chapters when we upload the, the audio file. The, audio file is is all taken care of. We do put in the notes, yada yada yada, and we can upload it. And even if we were to upload it and within five minutes later, it goes live, and we didn't have any any dough notes or any not dough notes, but, any chapters put in, We could actually go back in, put chapters in, and have all that go live, and all that would do would update the the RSS feed. It wouldn't do anything for the to the file itself. So you don't have to go through and redownload everything to get a missing chapter or a missing piece of chapter art. So if you are wanting to provide some time some of your time, you could help us create chapters.
If you're good at doing graphic arts, then you could help us create episodic art, chapter art, things like that. Our chapter art allows for, for animated GIFs, things like that. So you can you can really go almost with what you with what type of of chapter art you wanted to do. And you could actually go inside and do both. Maybe you're good and you wanna provide your time. Well, you then that nails time and talent. If you're like me, a talentless hack, you know, you can go off and just provide a little bit of, a little bit of money, a little bit of treasure in whatever form that you find beneficial for you because it's all depends upon what you think the value is. I have no idea whether you think what we do what we're doing is five minutes or or, $5 or $500.
It doesn't matter at all. So, anyhow, we got we got a we've got many ways that you can provide for the, for the, for the the help provide for the show. And so if you have any comments or questions or anything like that, one of the great things is you can also provide you can also provide your feedback. You can do, shoot me an email, [email protected], or you can shoot Rich an email. That's [email protected]. Chelson is c h e l s o n. And, if you wanna get ahold of the dude, that's fine. Just shoot either me or Rich a an email because no one can remember his email address. So we will get it to him in in different channels. So but, anyhow, with that, Rich, what would you like to say?
[02:29:58] Rich Chelson:
Oh, not too much. Just, again, I wanna thank everybody for listening and keeping coming back because it's it's just it's amazing to know that that we have people that that like to listen to us. And, hopefully, we make you laugh, but and sometimes we might make you mad, and that's why you come back. That's fine too. We don't care. You know? You know, send us some email, Brian said. You know? And we'll be happy to do more of what whatever it is that makes you keep coming back. You know? And that's [email protected] or [email protected].

Tell your friends. Tell your family. You know? Shit. People you don't like, who cares? You know? Give them a laugh or you know? We've been known to, make a few people upset. Even though we haven't heard from them, we know we have pissed somebody off, with at least one of our episodes, if not more than one. So, you know, hey. We are an equal opportunist here.
We have something for everyone. Absolutely. You know? That's about all I got. Just keep coming back and listening and, tell everyone about it. And, send us an email. Say hi, boo, shit, howdy. We don't care. You know? If you wanna hear hear us talk about our thoughts on a subject, bring it up. We'll talk about it. So because we're not scared. Anyway, that's that's about all I got.
